Welcome to the Lightsabers & Props page!

Here you can browse through the best Lightsabers and other Star Wars Props for DIY, where to find them and how to build them with our 3D printed chassis and accessories. You can use the filters on the left to help finding the items you’re looking for. Stay tuned, more content, sabers and props will be added continuously to this page!

Custom DIY Sabers

Out of the hilts listed on the page, there are a lot of other custom sabers available for DIY. The Custom Saber Shop was the first to propose to build your own custom saber with a varied choice of parts. Other big companies (like UltraSabers, Saberforge, …) as well as smaller ones (OxWork, …) also propose various empty hilts.

While we can’t do a specific chassis for all the sabers out there, we propose a wide selection of chassis modules that help to install empty hilts. The 1st step is always the same, measure the ID and length of your hilt and browse the shop sections for the corresponding GCM size => Hilt ID = Chassis OD -0.01″ (for example with 1.25″ID MHS parts, the corresponding chassis modules are 1.24″OD). The length of each module is also in the item description so that you can plan accordingly.

Graflex (Vintage / Replica)

The Graflex is the most iconic Lightsaber in the Star Wars universe! Transmitted from generation to generation, it’s a key component in all the saga.

Constructed from an antique Graflex Camera flashgun, saber enthusiasts are used to convert these Vintage flashes or Replicas into Litghsabers, with the different styles appearing in EpIV, EPV or EpVII. Such conversions are fairly easy, look into the Chassis and DIY instructions to know how, and find the necessary components to do it!

The original hilt carried by Mark Hamillin Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hopewas made from the flash attachment of a Graflex 3 cell flash unit, a flash tube attachment used on forties-era press cameras, with the ridged grips made by gluing portions of hard plastic T-track used for cabinet sliding doors (often mistaken for wiper blades) onto the bare cylinder, and the switch plate fashioned from the LED display of an Exactra 19 or 20 calculator. A D-ring assembly was also added to the bottom. The lightsaber used in Star Wars: Episode V The Empire Strikes Backwas again based on a Graflex, but the ‘T’ tracks were instead screwed on, the switch plate was replaced with part of a circuit board, the Graflex logo was covered with mylar tape, and part of a Kobold camera flash was used to created the D-ring assembly.

For Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, genuine Graflex flash units were used to make the lightsaber props. They were based on a hybrid of the A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back versions, as they feature the “glass eye” and “beer tab” top half parts from A New Hope, and circuit boards and ‘T’ tracks attached via screws bottom half from The Empire Strikes Back. To hide the Graflex logo, a “wrap” was created that covers most of the flash unit’s clamp. The clamp appears more golden colored in The Force Awakens.

Graflex 2.0 / 2.5 (Parks)

The Graflex is the most iconic Lightsaber in the Star Wars universe! Transmitted from generation to generation, it’s a key component in all the saga.

In 2016 following Episode VIII, Parks Sabers manufactured a new DIY Kit, allowing to choose between the different styles appearing in EpIV, EPV or EpVII. These kits became very popular, also thanks to GOTH-3Designs chassis and install instructions available through the link below.

Anakin / Vader built this lightsaber after loosing his Graflex styled one in his battle against ObiWan on Mustafar. As he was know to be a skilled mechanic and always tweaking / fixing / improving things, it is only logical to see his lightsaber design evolve through the years, and notably between EpIV and EpV.

As Anakin / Vader was know to be a skilled mechanic and always tweaking / fixing / improving things, it is only logical to see his lightsaber design evolve through the years. This version is thus the last one he used to combat Luke in the 2nd Death Star during the Batle of Endor. The Lightsaber then fell into the same energy well in which the Emperor was thrown into.

Obi-Wan K4 (Parks)

One of the 3 main lightsabers that defined Star Wars, here is a replica of Obi-Wan’s lightsaber as seen in Episode IV – A New Hope (and SW Rebels series).

This kit has been created by Parks and despite a quite small internal space, is easy to build for beginners using our chassis. This hilt isn’t meant for heaving dueling, but is a nice display piece. Learn how to build your own by clicking on the button below:

Luke V4 Balance (Roman)

Luke V2 (NerfworXlab)

Symbol of completing his Jedi training, Luke Skywalker constructed this lightsaber right before the start of Star Wars The Return of the Jedi.

This version is the “V2” of Skywalker ROTJ Lightsaber, notably used during his duel with Vader. This replica is one of the closest accurate to the original prop, based of the pictures released during SW Celebration 2015. Produced by the collaborative group NerfworXlab (in which GOTH-3designs is a member), it is the best and most install friendly Luke V2 available. Check the DIY instructions below to learn how:

This saber contains a kyber crystal and emits a green plasma blade. Its hilt is similar to that of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s lightsaber (as seen in The New Hope), as Skywalker modeled his weapon on his late Jedi Master’s lightsaber

The V2 version was mostly used during stunt / combat phases in the Return of the Jedi. The other version called “Hero” was used for close-up and more official design of Luke’s Lightsaber. While the V2 is very close to the Hero general design, the control box and clamp section are quite different (closer to Obi-Wan design). The V2 body is also covered by a very characteristic black weathering / paint, showing heavy use.
